Plate of meatballs with zucchini and carrot pasta

I’m just going to put this out there but sometimes blogging can be a pain in the arse! And yes in Australia we say arse and not ass 😉 Apologies if that came across too harsh but seriously some days I just can’t be arsed to sit down and post on here!

Take yesterday for example, I had planned on putting this recipe up yesterday but here’s what happened. First off it was a SUNNY day! Which as you may have realised from my weather rants on here this is rare for England. So of course I had to take advantage of this beautiful day, plus Joe had taken the day off work (well he took Monday off too to take me to the teaching agency… more on the below). So instead of sitting at home with me typing away on the computer we decided to head out for a day time walk and ended up running around like kids on the grass in the middle of the park. And you know what it was fun! And I didn’t feel bad about not having put up my blog post, even though on my FB page I said I would.

Yes I love writing here and posting recipes but it’s not my life. If I get the chance to be outside, enjoy the sun and enjoy the company of my husband well then that trumps everything else! I’m pretty sure… or at least I hope that other bloggers feel the same way! [Read more…]

Last night I felt like making something different, something that I’ve probably only ever made once or twice before, in fact I can’t even remember the last time I made these myself. The main part of the recipes comes courtesy of Balanced Bites with a few minor adjustments in the recipe. I have been following this blog recently and am eager to get my hands on the Practical Paleo cookbook which from what I’ve heard is choc full of great easy and delicious Paleo recipes.

I paired the main part of this dish, which is lamb chops with an easy but delicious raw kale salad. I absolutely LOVE kale! It is packed full of goodness with things like fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants and it is also an anti-inflammatory food. [Read more…]
